A correspondent of the Augusta, Ga,
Chronicle relates the following as to how
the Savannah River got its name: 'Du-
ring the years '4s, '49 and so I was pupil
in the we'll known institute of Rev. VIM.
J. Hard, of your city. While talking to
our class one day about the early settle.
ment of Augusta, he told us that the
name Savannah had its originlin avery
affecting Indian legend. One of the white
settlers who lived above Augusta had oc-
casion to cross the river one day, and in
company with his little daughter was
carried by an Indian in his canoe. This
little girls name was Anna When they
reached the middle of the stream, there
came up asudden squall of wind, and by
some means the frail bark was capsized
and all three thrown into the water. The
father, inJhis anxiety about his daughter,
cried out to the Indian, Save Anna! Oh,
save Anna!' The Indian grasped the
child and reached the shore in safety with
her, and in memory of that incident called
the river its present name, Savannah
I have never heard this disputed, but
would be glad to know if it was really 3
fact"
